Arizona's Freon Use Act of 1995

Signed into law April 17, 1995 by Governor Fife
Symington, defying world ban on use of Freon

We don't know whatever happened to this. It was signed into law by Governor Symington and he was later charged with some (probably) trumped up illegal doings. It's possible the federal government challenged the law, as the feds are want to do when a Sovereign State enacts Constitutionally-sound laws. It should be known and remembered that the federal courts have no lawful standing in the States, and state legislators can ignore the federal courts, or reject federal court findings which threaten to usurp the Constitutional authority and power of the State.

“Should the feds decide to utilize their hired guns — the judicial system — in order to coerce obedience, sovereignty again allows the state to ignore orders of the court. The feds will not, in my opinion, go to more forceful coercion beyond the court system for fear of triggering their ultimate demise. They do not want this and neither do we. We are perfectly within our rights to proclaim protection from federal oppression by our United States Constitution. It was created with exactly these protections in mind.”

— Former Colorado State Senator, Charles Duke
